Type of diving:For my best tek experiences I have many but I have to include cave diving exploration in Mexico's awesome cenotes, trimix week diving battleships and ocean liners- HMS Audacious, Justicia, Empire Heritage and Laurentic at 70m off NW Irish coast with clear viz, 90m crystal clear waters of Malta on CCR, 45m wreck dives and penetration on the historic WW1 battleships in Scapa Flow, beautifully preserved wrecks in Baltic sea, wreck penetration of Rosalie Moller in Red Sea

Playground:Caves, Deep, Wrecks, Extreme cold … countries… exploring, teaching…My playground is 1.5-2hrs in any direction so between teaching all year round in Capernwray, Delph and Hodge Close caves, I teach in Malta regularly, water temperatures ranging from 3 deg in UK to 25 deg in Malta. My favourites are the extensive mines at Linley (22 miles of man-made and natural cave passage), Alber Las (Lost mine) or resurgences such as Hurtle Pot and White Lady Caves, too many to list. Recently have been asked to explore White Scar Caves (Britains Biggest show cave) since it was last pushed 15 yrs ago. For deep dives OC or CCR, water temp down to 4 deg, I go to Wastwater (87m) in the Lake District or Dorothea Quarry (105m) in North Wales. The sea is just as far in any direction (2hrs away) for any good reef or wreck dives such as in North West coast of Scotland, Anglesey ( Liverpool Bay has around a thousand wrecks many still unexplored) and the North East coast of England.

Numbers of dives per year:350 dives per year, average 1-1.5hrs dive time.

Technically Inspired

In the mid-1970s, two friends decided to combine their knowledge of diving and precision engineering. Working from a small garage in the north of England, they set about creating what has become some of the most respected scuba diving equipment on the market.

Decades later that spirit of precision-engineering and craftsmanship continues. Our world-class production facility and the fact that we have total control over every manufacturing process make Apeks scuba diving regulators the industry benchmark for design, quality and performance.
